ProDelphi / ProDelphi64 / ProDelphi6432
Source code profilers for Delphi 5..7, 2005..2010, XE, XE2..XE8, 10.0 .. 10.4, 11, 12
(Win 32 and Win64 applications)

ProDelphi is a tool to measure the runtime of programs written in Delphi Object Pascal. First successful industrial usage of ProDelphi was in February 1998. Since then ProDelphi has been permanently improved, also a lot of customer suggestions were integrated.

The principle of source instrumenting, the sophisticated measurement correction algorithm and the granularity of 1 CPU-cycle guarantee an outstanding measurement accuracy. Even very small or multiple nested functions are measured precisely. After profiling with ProDelphi you know where the bottle neck is, not where it might be (see profiler types ). To compare the measurement accuracy of ProDelphi with any other profiler, a profiler tester is supplied in the download area.

Source instrumenting also ensures that idle times caused by certain Delphi- or Windows- API-functions (e.g. Sleep, MessageBox, WaitForSingleObject etc.) are automatically excluded from measurement.

The extremly low measurement overhead guarantees even to measure time critical applications.

The user friendly human interface makes the profiling process fast and easy, the sorting viewer enables the user to find the bottlenecks at first glance. With one mouse click the file with the measured method is opened in Delphi. The cursor is positioned at the beginning of the measured method.   

An optional call graph shows who called a procedure and who is called by it. Also how often this happened and what time was consumed when processing this path is displayed. This call graph makes a quick 'following the execution path' possible without searching in the sources.  An extra window shows the critical path.

With printing measurement results the success of an optimization can be documented.

For the UI language English, German, Dutch, French or Italian can be chosen. Via system menu a change of language without restart is possible.

ProDelphi can be used instead of SmartBear AQTime which which is discontinued since July 2024.

A video shows how easy it is, to measure the runtime of an application with ProDelphi.

There are 3 versions of ProDelphi:

  • ProDelphi6432, the version for 64 and 32 bit applications
  • ProDelphi64, the version for measuring 64 bit applications
  • ProDelphi, the version for measuring 32 bit applications

Each of them is available as

  • Freeware version which measures up to 20 procedures of a project and the
  • Professional  version which measures up to 65500 procedures of a project (which can have even more than 65500 procedures)
Additional features of the Professional versions:
  • Evaluation of minimum / maximum runtimes
  • Optional measuring the library path
The 32 bit version:
  • Optionally measures pure assembler functions / procedures

Support:

For the professional version e-mail support is provided for the case of problems.

Requirements:
  • 32 or 64 bit AMD or Intel processor (e.g. AMD  Athlon/Turion, Athlon 64 X2, Intel Centrino, Core i5)
  • For mobile processors the Power save mode should be deactivated during the measurement
  • Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003 (32 bit), XP/Vista/7/8/10 (32 and 64 bit versions), 11
  • 72 MB additional free memory
